Step 1: Check Your State's Requirements

Before you start the process, check your state's requirements for changing a registered agent. Some states may have specific forms or procedures that need to be followed.

Step 2: Prepare the Necessary Documents

You'll need to prepare the following documents:

  • A signed statement from the new registered agent, stating that they agree to serve in that capacity.
  • A completed change of registered agent form, which can usually be found on your state's business filing website.
  • A payment for the filing fee, which varies by state.

Step 3: File the Documents with the State

Once you have all the necessary documents, you can file them with the state. You can usually do this online or by mail. Make sure to follow the state's specific instructions for filing.

Step 4: Update Your LLC's Records

After you've filed the documents with the state, you'll need to update your LLC's records to reflect the change. This may include updating your LLC's articles of organization, bylaws, or other documents.
